INNOVATION
FOR Government Agencies
Innovation offers huge opportunities, but can often be challenging to implement.
Grow and accelerate your team’s skills and capabilities with our CSIRO enabled programs.
Problems we solve
Over the last 20 years, facilitating hundreds of hackathon and workshop events, we have noticed that corporate innovation is often discussed but notoriously difficult to achieve. We see four roadblocks:
- Permission – It’s often unclear who is “allowed” to innovate – especially where there are dedicated Innovation Labs within the enterprise. We help you build the culture of innovation and leadership to set a new agenda.
- Resources – If we have permission to innovate, the challenge is then to identify and fund the resources needed to innovate. We coach you through the process of framing and resourcing your innovation program.
- Funding – Once we have permission and resources, then we’ll need a budget allocated to the program. We support you to create convincing and powerful business models and venture programs that generate impact and returns.
- Process – Having permission, resources and funding for our innovation program, the last question is “how”. Our coaching and facilitation experts provide end-to-end support for your skills, knowledge and accelerator programs.
How we’re here for you!
It’s where identified problems, validation of business concepts and moving towards the goal of a minimum viable product (MVP) come together to create the most effective impact.
